WHAT IS OPEN SOURCE PROJECT-LAUNCH BLUEPRINTING

OPEN SOURCE

Everything we do is added to our site without patents, copyrights, or limitations of use of any kind. This means everyone is welcome and encouraged to use anything we create in any way they like.

PROJECT-LAUNCH BLUEPRINTING

We are creating blueprints, tools, tutorials, and as many resources as possible to streamline, simplify, and specifically forward the duplication of all components of One Community. This is to make additional projects easy for others to launch and evolve even further. Components are being designed to be duplicated either modularly as their own standalone and do-it-yourself projects, or as a comprehensive and completely self-sufficient and self-replicating teacher/demonstration hub like One Community.

ENERGY

Our duplicable energy infrastructure is designed to eliminate power bills, be a source of revenue for those still connected to the grid, and built to evolve and grow with the evolution and expansion of new technologies too.

DUPLICABLE CITY CENTER

Our Duplicable and Sustainable City Center is designed to be DIY replicable without heavy machinery, LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, designed to feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, beautiful, spacious, save resources, save money, and save space.

EDUCATION

Our duplicable education model is designed for all ages, built to exceed traditional educational standards, and modifiable for application in a homeschooling environment, a traditional schooling environment, or for use as a complete community-based private schooling program.

OPEN SOURCE AS A FOUNDATION OF WORLD CHANGE

In decision making at One Community, the core value of “Open Source” is applied by asking ourselves the following three key questions:

How can we make this even easier for others to duplicate?

How can we make this even easier for others to customize/modify?

How can we make this even easier for others to contribute collaboratively to also?

* To ensure we are always aligned with our purpose, values, and mission, One Community uses the values as defined by our organization as the compass for all our decision making; we then factor in the diversity of individual perspectives and experiences. We highly recommend this approach because it saves us hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of collaborative decision making time. If you are considering our model as a template for your own creation, we especially recommend you apply this approach too and use, adapt, or completely change the values we’ve presented so you too can create a clear guidance system that aligns with your own organizational/group/individual needs

Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.

The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:

We have the team to produce an extensive quality and diversity of tools and resources

The more we show our ability to share what we are creating, the more others will benefit and want to join this movement and mimic the part we are playing in it

OPEN SOURCE SHARING STRATEGY SPECIFICS

Our open source strategy will evolve 5 primary types of open source content purposed to reach and service as broad an audience as possible. This includes the following mediums of sharing that are being developed to function as standalone resources or in combination with each other:

Video tutorials

Audio tutorials

Live streaming video

Direct/live interaction

Written content and downloadable PDFs

Maximum exposure is accomplished through simultaneous implementation of the following strategies:

Dedicated and search engine optimized sections of our website for each key area

Our established infrastructure that simultaneously posts to over 20 social networks

6 MONTHS TO GLOBAL OPEN SOURCE LEADERSHIP

With this model and the team we are building, it will take us only 6 months (from the day we move onto the property and begin working full-time as a group) to become one of the most productive, comprehensive, and useful sources of global-solution information in the world. The greatest gift is that through massive service and assistance, we get to “be the change we wish to see in the world” and become leaders by example of truly living for The Highest Good of All.

To assure that we achieve this objective of becoming one of the most productive, comprehensive and useful sources of global-solution information in the world, we have set the following specific goals for open source creation during our first 6 months of residing on the property:

300 short videos – 3 uploads per day which takes less than 3 hours/day

12 one-hour tutorials on each of our projects, from architecture to food production to consensus governing – Estimate 20 hours of creation time each (240 total hours)

A live streaming page with live classes/events throughout the day – creates 8 hours/day of content and requires less than 1 hour/per day to maintain

3 hours a day invested in dedicated video taping for inclusion in all of the above

Based on the goals above, daily maintenance of this program will amount to 11 hours a day average, plus about 360 hours (spread over 6 months = 2 hours/day) of build time for the information library and 12 tutorials, for a total of 13 hours a day (91 hours a week) for generating open source content. To meet and exceed this need we have allocated the equivalent of 3 full-time people (120 hours a week) to the tasks that will generate an estimated 2,800 hours of open source contribution to the world in our first 6 months.

A do-it-yourself model is attractive to many, but definitely not all, and a large percentage of this new market will still A) prefer to pay to have things done for them or B) seek hands-on training and/or deeply involved paid consulting best delivered by the professionals who can provide it.

The diversity of people’s desires and unparalleled creativity of the human spirit can be expected to motivate people towards a desire to make everything we do even better, even more beautiful, and even more sustainable and effective. These expected evolutions and modifications are at the heart of our global transformation strategy, for The Highest Good of All, and specifically why we are project-launch blueprinting and not just open sourcing. Because of this, we see open source and free-sharing everything desired for duplication as the needed option for many people, and the opportunity for investment, evolution, and new innovation and creatively building off of and beyond these foundations for most people.

Q: Will you be teaching on-going classes?

We will offer on-going scholarship and participation programs for all components of One Community as we are building them. This means we will teach on-going classes in all areas as we develop them and then refer to existing organizations and groups purposed specifically for teaching these things from that point forward. Any area that is in continuous development (ex: the Education for Life Program) will provide ongoing classes. Any area that will have a definitive completion point (ex: the earthbag village) will be referred after completion to other teacher/demonstration hubs seeking help and existing organizations specifically purposed and experienced in teaching all aspects related to these areas.

Q: What are your plans to evolve your open source project-launch blueprints?

We will use the feedback and questions we receive during and after everything we build to continuously update our open source information, tools, and resources through our on-going experience and on-going global collaboration and function as an open source sharing and solutions research and development hub.
